Luckily the wind hadn't come up yet to spoil the effect. The color reminds me of peppermint candy but it's getting darker every time I look.

I hope they're not working you to the bone at the garden center.

However, if you can follow this link you'll see a picture from an earlier blog post of mine from March re: "Visiting the Black Swamp"... the darker pink trillium flower at the top of the cluster is almost spent while the others are still very white:<BR/><BR/>http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZZaCksscUwk/RgXhoTUOfbI/AAAAAAAAASw/FwB6GV0p2YM/s1600-h/DSC01707.JPGAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-85187428151688006692007-05-18T19:05:00.000-07:002007-05-18T19:05:00.000-07:00Sorry for the delay in responding... connection pr...Sorry for the delay in responding... connection problems.<BR/><BR/>Very interesting information Annie. You are a fount of knowledge...almost typed font. The pink gets darker by the day. I'll add a photo later to show the dark stage. Thanks for the info.<BR/><BR/>Hi Kim, and I thought I had a unique form of Trillium. Shucks. Pretty interesting though. Hey if you visit your parents when the Trilliums are in bloom please post photos.<BR/><BR/>Hi Lisa, I'm afraid you and I will have to wait a year for the yellow one to bloom. I looks like it has little buds on the top of the leaf but it hasn't done anything so I don't think it will bloom. Oh well, I waited 2 years for the white/pink ones to bloom so I guess I can wait another 2 for this one. I hope yours will bloom next year and if it does please post of picture of it.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-54755153947370959302007-05-18T08:46:00.000-07:002007-05-18T08:46:00.000-07:00Nice!

But I sure love them...my "lemon trillium" hasn't bloomed yet, but I'll love to see pics of yours!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-43755966165585077682007-05-17T19:44:00.000-07:002007-05-17T19:44:00.000-07:00Interesting re: the color change.

FWIW, Annie and Ki, the wild native trilliums in the woods behind my parents' house do the same kind of darkening when they "fade" at the end of blooming.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-12390639992942063252007-05-17T12:42:00.000-07:002007-05-17T12:42:00.000-07:00Hello Ki,This color-change question was asked of a...Hello Ki,<BR/><BR/>This color-change question was asked of an <A HREF="http://www.al.com/hg/huntsvilletimes/index.ssf?/base/living/1175937427192130.xml&coll=1" REL="nofollow">Alabama Garden Columnist</A> and he thinks it could be either T. grandiflora or T. catesbaei and that pollination may trigger the change in color, just as it does in some other white flowers, and some roses. <BR/><BR/>Interesting, whatever is going on! <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.com
